this is the story (part of which, anyway) of how my character came to be who he is.

"As a child, Matthew had many curiosities of how everything worked in the world, and had always dreamt of finding out. He was homeless and although he had always wanted a family, grew into the fact that he was more of a loner. He enjoyed fiddling with plants and herbs, and , as he grew older, began to learn how everything—from plants and herbs to animals and ecosystems— in his life reacted. He also learned to make use of the reactions, such as healing his wounds, or poisoning his foes (=nature), the study that we call alchemy. At the age of 24, he began searching through many towns for an application of his knowledge. After months of searching, he came to a large city named Vivec, and to his relief, was greeted at the main entrance by a group of sorcerers and alchemists such as himself. He told the men of his tragedy and they gave him a solution, for they owned an apothecary worthy of his skills and invited him to work for them as a high rank alchemist. Without thinking, he accepted thier offer. The men brought him to their apothecary: "Fargoth's potion shop". There, he learned how to create many potions of health....or disaster. He spent 6 years mixing, powdering, and finally selling potions. By this time, he had achieved a reputation competitive of Fargoth's himself. :!:

Years later, when Matthew had to travel far away for his work, all Fargoth left to accompany him was a dark black cloak and a tattered book of healing miracles.
